Founder's Day

This episode shows a founders day celebration - the first for the Ingalls, and the last that we see. It seems everyone is competitive in this episode. Charles is offended by an older man who claims to be better than him at chopping woods since Charles is just a farmer.

Caroline is worried about winning the pie baking contest. Her competition is Harried, which I find quite amusing. In later episodes, Harriet can't cook to save her life. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but she seems to be really good at a lot of things at the moment.

I won't give the results of the contests, but I'll just say that sometimes it's not about who wins - it's about what we learn from not winning that counts. And I think all the Ingalls learned some lessons along the way. Did Charles do the right thing in the end? Well, I tend to think so.

I wish that is the way things are, but, sadly not. Coming out ahead is today's train of thought, no matter the cost to self or others...

the season 1 finale founders day!! This episode was light and fun and also the only finale that was in this tone all the others were pretty serious. Every body in walnut grove is getting ready for the most famous day "founders day". The day that walnut grove was founded by Lars Hanson. Its a huge day full of games and contests and everyone of the ingalls family are competing at something. Laura:hoop rolling and 3 legged race. Mary:rope jumping. Caroline:pie baking,3 legged race. Charles:tug of war,wood Chopin contest. The episode have a lot of funny moments were almost all futures the Olsen's. This show would not have worked with out them!!!
